<p>The wheel is made using Pro-Lite&rsquo;s high-pressure vacuum forming machine, but it&rsquo;s a more labour-intensive process than you might imagine.</p>

<p><p>Hi All,</p>
<p>i noticed a rattle in my rear wheel this morning, pretty sure it is loose bearings inside the hub as i'm not sure how dirt or anything else could have got in and I can hear something rolling around and dropping within the hub's body.<br />
They are an Easton Aero Wheelset that came with the bike I think the equivalent was an Easton EA30.<br />
Anyway, i have a few questions before I bother my LBS so here goes:<br />
Does anyone know if this can be serviced? Any idea of cost?<br />
If I ride the wheel home (25mi) will I do it further damage - is there a danger the wheel could break/buckle?</p>

<p><p> I crashed and killed the back wheel of my 2011 Bontrager Aeolus 5 d3 clincher wheel set. Thus, I have a front wheel in need of a rear wheel. Someone out there must have done the same thing to their front wheel. I am hoping we can find a way to mate these two survivors.</p>

<p><p>Some touring bikes are now marketed as more "go anywhere" bikes. They have mountain bike wheels rather than 700C roady wheels.</p>
<p>The answer for us may be given by the fact that we have entirely 700C bikes already. Ancient Family Wisdom has been that 700C is better on tarmac and possible unpaved Sustrans tracks. 26 is slower, but stronger.</p>
<p>What is the real difference between the two? Also what effect on the ride of the bike and geometry? Lower I guess. Shorter?</p>
<p>I currently have no plans to go to the sorts of places where 700C spares would not be available.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p><p>Having lost a wheel this weekend to it going too far out of true to be repaired, I'm now looking for a new rear wheel. I'm fed up of wheels that go wonky too easily with my 95kg on them. I seek out what I think are decent-strength wheels, and I know that some are certainly not suitable for me.<br />
If anyone out there can recommend a good wheel or brand for a heavier rider such as myself I'd be grateful. I'm aiming to start Cat 4 racing before too long and I love climbing although a low weight is not crucial, something fast-rolling would be good. </p>

<p><p>Rode my first Sportive on Saturday, well I say 'rode' the truth is i had to push the last four miles as my hub gave out, prior to that I had 2 spokes come through the rim. The wheels were the standard one fitted to the bike when I bought it Easton EA30's I think. Needless to say I need new hoops, but as ever there is no easy answer so was looking for some real people reviews.</p>

<p><p>Have a budget for a new wheelset for racing and also training daily (replacing the wheels which came with my CAAD 8 TIA which have been thoroughly destroyed my north london's best potholes <img src="http://road.cc/sites/all/modules/smileys/packs/Yahoo!/sad.gif" title="Sad" alt="Sad" class="smiley-content"/> ) , around £250 but could push up to £300. Thinking of building a set with 105 or ultegra hubs but I'm not too sure about the rims - any ideas?</p>
<p>OR.. scrap the building and get fulcrum racing 5's or fulcrum quattro's???</p>

<p><p>Hello,</p>
<p>I have recently had to replace my rear hub, and having now put everything back together and on the bike, it doesn't feel right. There is much to much friction, as if the brake is always on whenever I am peddling. </p>
<p>Is this normal? Do the bearings just need time to bed in and adjust themselves to run smoothly or is there something wrong with the wheel... Having never rebuilt a entire wheel before I have nothing to compare it to, and the old hub was so old it just ran and ran forever. </p>
<p>Any help is much appreciated,</p>
<p>C</p>

<p><p>Hello,</p>
<p>My rear wheel on my road bike has developed a nasty looking crack, necessitating a new purchase. The guy at Evans (only bike shop open today near me) suggested I get a Mavic <a href="http://www.evanscycles.com/products/mavic/2012-aksium-rear-wheel-ec03331" title="http://www.evanscycles.com/products/mavic/2012-aksium-rear-wheel-ec03331">http://www.evanscycles.com/products/mavic/2012-aksium-rear-wheel-ec03331</a> as it would suit my needs. I rode 3500km last year, 90% of which was commuting on potholey roads. I'll probably end up stumping up for the Mavic but wondered if anyone has any advice on a good, cheap(ish) wheel for commuting. Speediness it not a major consideration and can be sacrificed for sturdiness.</p>

<p><p>Thinking about the bad weather that we're bound to be getting soon, I'm looking for a spare wheel for use on the turbo (so I can minimise tyre changing faff)</p>
<p>Anyone got a rear wheel they'd be up for selling cheap? shimano/sram freehub, just needs to be in good enough nick to use on a trainer.</p>
<p>For the same reason if anyone has a spare 9spd shimano/sram cassette they'd be willing to part with I'd be interested, not fussed about gearing.</p>

<p><p>Advice or general thoughts please.</p>
<p>Looking for a good all-round wheelset for up to £400, but preferably less.</p>
<p>They're to go on a pretty lightweight build, so I'd like to keep shaving off grams if possible. I'm about 70kg so shouldn't have too many problems with lighter and more delicate wheels.</p>
<p>I've been pondering a few wheels:<br />
Campagnolo Zonda<br />
Mavic Krysium Elite (a smidge over budget but oh so tempting)<br />
Fulcrum Racing 3<br />
Shimano Ultegra 6700</p>
<p>I've got Pro-Lite Bracchianos on my other bike, so they're out for this one.</p>
